You might like to have a look at Softy, which is a shareware font editor for TrueType fonts. Softy can be used to produce new TrueType fonts and to edit existing TrueType fonts. http://users.iclway.co.uk/l.emmett/ There is some more information about Softy, including the correct email address for registrations, at the following page. http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/editors.html Having a look for Softy and Softy font at http://www.yahoo.com might be helpful. I am trying to obtain a copy of the tutorial by "Grumpy", so far without success. I have found the other tutorial and it is very useful. I have had lots of fun with the Softy program and although I have not tried to implement the U+FE20 and U+FE21 which you mention, I have tried various experiments using Softy and have found it a very satisfactory package to use. Softy is shareware, so perhaps you might think it worth a try to find out if it will help you do what you want to achieve. Also, you might like to have a look at the SC UniPad program which I mentioned earlier today in another thread. When I was studying your posting I used SC UniPad to have a look at the various Cyrillic characters which you mentioned. As far as I can tell at present SC UniPad does not position the U+FE20 and U+FE21 characters as you might want them to appear, yet SC UniPad would seem like a good way to key in the text, ready to copy and paste it into another program which would be used to display the thus keyed text using a font of your choice.
